We had a very nice relaxing day this past Sunday. We attended Church at 10:00 AM. Took a Gondola up to the Stratosfare Restaurant for brunch which was very good. After brunch we went for a nature walk on top of the hill where the restaurant was and heading back down via the Gondola. We finished off our day with a 5 mile hike up the hill next to our Airbnb and then settled in for a evening of good conversation with Su our amazing Airbnb host.

We are off to Auckland today to finish off our last two days in New Zealand and then to Cape Town South Africa on October 3 to start the next leg of our journey.

While at Church today we saw a quote from Pope Francis which we thought was very appropriate for our journey and I would like to share it with you.

“This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the good.”

These pictures just came out of the dark room.  It took some time to process them as it was a very involved process due to the fact I had to use very quick response film and no flash was allowed in the Glowworm Caves.

I tried putting this slide show together to put on the blog, but it was taking so long to convert the video I gave up on it and just put the individual ones on.  However seeing as I put some time into this I thought I would post it on the blog.  It is just a repeat of some of the Zip-line rides with some music added.  Hope you enjoy it.
